Winners

Noah Kumar & Jacqueline Putrino
continue to impress
on the Florida Junior Tour circuit.

Boys 16-18 Division

Kumar finished round 1 tied at even par with Scotty Kennon,
Bryce Walker, and Thomas Salanito. All of these players
would fall back in round 2 with Bryce Walker shooting 77 and
the three others firing 76. Andrew Clark’s steady 74’s would
add him to the four-man playoff between Kumar, Salanito,
Kennon, and Clark. They went back to the 18th hole and one
hole was all it took. Noah Kumar played the playoff with ice
in his veins. Finding the left fairway with his tee shot, he stuck
an 8-iron to five feet. Clark and Salanito would make bogey,
and Kennon par. After Noah got his read, he took an extra
second to confirm and there was never a doubt. The birdie
putt was true and he won his second consecutive FJT!

Scotty Kennon, Thomas Salanito, and Andrew Clark
all finished tied for second.
